THE EVENING STAR, REGULAR SCHEDULE Christmas Spirit Permeates Broadcast With No Spe- cial Features. he spirit of Christmas permeates the broadcasting schedules tonight of both stations WRC and WMAL. Neither sta- tion, however, has arranged any special features, the regular network attrac- tions occupying their coustomary places. WRC's principal musical programs will be provided by the Mobiloil Or- chestra, the Happy Wonder Bakers, and the Palmolive hour. The Halsel-Stuart broadcast also will be largely musical with the Chicago Little Symphony Or- chestra presenting the program of which Christmss will be the theme. James Melton, popular radio tenor, will be the guest soloist with the Mobil- oil Orchestra, singing a group of some of the best known compositions of Franz Lehar, in addition to “Hills of Home” and one of his own works, “Monkey Hop” The orchestra will open the pro- gram with “The March of the Toys’ from Victor Herbert's “Babes in Toy- land.” _Other orchestral selections in- clude Liadow's “Music Box.” and the “Adagio Pathetique” of Godard. Bakers Present ‘Troika.” Tschaikowsky's “Troika” (The Sleigh) s one of the numbers characteristic of the holiday spiris of the program of the Happy Bakers. The highlight of the m, however, will be a vocal fan- “A'Visit from Santa Claus.” Sev- eval other unusual musical numbers will be offered in keeping with the holiday irit. spIn the Palmolive broadcast. Olive Palmer, soprano, will sing a Russian Tolk melody entitled “Christmas Cradle Song.” The orchestra will contribute “Lonesome Little Doll,” ot a Feelin’ for You” and “Toy Maker’s Dream.” Outstanding among WMAL's Christ- mas musical features are the Grand Opera Concert with Nini Martini, tenor, as the guest soloist, and the Kolster radio hour to be provided by Bel Sel- vin's Orchestra. John Barclay and Helen Oelheim, two other prominent radio singers, also will take part in the grand opera concert which is made up of the works of Rossini, Verdi, Bizet, Gounod and Rimsky-Korsakoff. “The Little Sinner.” The dramatic piece de resistence of WMAL will be a condensed version of “The Little Sinner,” a four-act drama, by the Hank Simmons Show Boat troupe. Nine characters will take part in this play, which depicts family life in North Carolina and the romance o‘i a country boy and a girl who doesn’t Jove him. WMAL's principal attractions of local origin include the weekly program by Radio_Joe and his Budget Boys and & special Christmas program by Stanley Bell, which will begin at midnight and contmue to 1 pm. The Washington Mixed Quartet will assist Radio Joe with his program, which is to be dedi- cated to the spirit of the day. WOL's Christmas program is abbre- viated, lasting only, two hours, from 5 to 7 o'clock. In that fime, howeyer, a dinner concert, tea music, and racing results will be broadcast. Christmas features are sprinkled throughout the program tonight of WJSV. Many of the station’s most pop- ular artists will present this program, which opens with dinner music at 6:30 o'clock and closes with dance melodies by Ray Acton’s Orchestra at 11 o’clock. TUBERCULOSIS BOARD NAMES HATCH AIDE Will Serve as Secretary Tempo- rarily in Place of Walter §. Ufford. Wallace Hatch was named to act temporarily as secretary of the Associa- tion for the Prevention of Tuberculosis at the monthly meeting of the board of directors. He will replace Walter S. Uf- ford on January 1, that Mr. Ufford may give his whole time to the work of the Associated Charities at the request of the managers of that society. The choice of Mr. Hatch, who has been an active member of the board for the past five years and chairman of the child health education committee dur- ing the past year, was upanimous. A thorough survey of the association’s program of activities will be conducted during the next 30 days. This survey will be in charge of a spe- cial committee of the board headed by Dr. F. C. Smith of the United States Public Health Service, of which commit- tee Mr. Hatch is also a member. Arthur J. Strawson, field secretary of the Na- tional Tuberculosis Association, has been invited to come to Washington during January to conduct the survey. SUGAR FIRM PLAN 0. K.'D.

If radio has had the effect of keeping {Ppeople at home more, the motion pic- ture industry has not felt it in any loss | of attendance. Figures from Will Hays, jczar of the movies, show that motion picture theater attendance in 1929 in- creased 15 per cent over that of 1928. Yet 1929 saw more than 2,500,000 addi- tional radio sets installed in American homes, The attendance in motion picture theaters last year was about 100,000,000 a week. This year, according to the figures made public by Mr. Hays during a recent visit here, it averaged 115,000,- 000 & week. An appreciable increase is also anticipated in 1930. Interest in sound pictures, product of the same electrical laboratories that produced radio, accounts for the in- crease in theafer attendance, according to Mr. Hays. Because of the increased production of quality pictures for circu- lation in the first half of 1930, he adds, there will be a still further increase. ‘The movies have no qualms about the encroachment of radio, and are pro- c:edlng with their normal expansion plans. Out in Hollywood some apprehension has been felt lest television, still only a promise, should wreak havoc with the film industry. Leaders in the produc- tion end of the industry, however, are resting securely in the belief that even if television broadcasting is done from films some one will have to produce the pictures. Nor do they fear that tele- vision will keep people from going to theaters. When television comes it is the con- fident belief of many far-sighted lead- ers in both the motion pictures and the radio industries that its most important use will be in theaters. There the tele- vised subjects will be flashed on screens as they are received, either by radio or wires. William S. Paley, president of the Columbia Broadcasting System, has expressed the belief that the gregarious instinct will lead people to attend thea- ters, lectures and concerts even when they can witness and hear the perform- ances at their firesides through the medium of an instrument like the pres- ent radio receiver. £ Nevertheless, the motion picture peo- ple are not overlooking the possibilities of radio. Their sound recording stafls are almost invariably former radio tech- nicians, for the engineering problem of recording is much broadcasting. One meets radio engi- neers everywhere on the movie lots of Hollywood. At least two of the big film producers have a stronghold in the radio struc- ture. Paramount owns a half interest in the Columbia Broadcasting System and uses the facilities of that network to exploit many of its stars and their pictures. Radio Pictures is a subsidiary of the Radio Corporation of America, which owns a half interest in the Na- tlonal Broadcasting Co., the other great netional network. The other producers have long tried and are still trying to gain a foothold in radio by the purchase of broadcasting stations.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, December 25.—Christmas rejoicings have reached Porto Rico late this year, but Santa Claus and the American style Christ- mas seem to have become increasingly popular in the larger towns. Hundreds of Christmas trees were imported from New England. Christmas eve—Noche in | Porto Rico—is a time of fasting and | worship until midnight, and following midnight mass a time of family feast- ing. Three Kings day, almost two weeks later, is the traditional gift-giv- ing time. The *Aguinaldo” boys, with their crude musical instruments, have been | late in starting their evening serenades | this year. Most Americans call them “Aguinaldo” boys, for they come to sing before street doors with the hope that their music will be rewarded with a few coins. “Aguinaldo” is a Christ- mas or New Year gift. ‘The songs continue from before Christmas until after Three Kings day, on January 6.
